Организация "Другая точка зрения" была зарегистрирована как некоммерческая организация 2012 в надежде воодушевить молодых людей увидеть будущее в авиации.
Самопровозглашенный «выброс,», Который работал пилотом и наслаждался ею., главный пилот летной школы и капитан авиакомпании, Lynn Houston decided six years ago that it was time to give back to young people searching for a better future by using aviation as a launching pad.
Based at California’s Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), she beta tested A Different Point of View in 2011, and incorporated the program as a nonprofit in 2012 в надежде воодушевить молодых людей увидеть будущее в авиации.
The program’s emphasis on careers in general aviation – including business aviation – as an industry that supports more than 1 миллионов американских рабочих мест, отражает центральную тему пропагандистской кампании Нет Plane Нет Gain, совместно спонсируется НСБА и GAMA.
“Aviation should not be for the privileged few, and just as attitude plus power equals performance in aviation, attitude plus a person’s sense of self will determine if they will climb or descend in life," она сказала.
A Different Point of View is open to anyone between 14 и 19 who is interested in aviation. The program introduces them to a full spectrum of aviation opportunities through one and three-day aviation career programs. Based on family income, a sliding scale fee offsets the costs. Most students receive scholarships, but all pay the $50 application fee so everyone has some investment in their program.
Held at Above It All Aviation, an SBA flight school, the career programs are limited to 12-15 teens.
“When they put on the t-shirt and step onto the tarmac, we are all the same family,” said Houston. Each student receives professional flight lessons, workshops on maintenance and ATC communications, which teaches the importance of communications in life as well as aviation, followed by full-motion simulator training.
